We inventory doctor blades in 328′ coils (100 meters). We can supply full coils, partial coils or individually cut blades.

Modern flexo presses are equipped with an anilox roller/doctor blade combination as an inking system. While single reverse angle blade systems are used for most narrow web presses, midsize and wide web presses are normally equipped with enclosed doctor blade systems. On all configurations, the wiping doctor blade is always applied in a reverse angle between 30 and 40 degrees. Due to the abrasive surface of ceramic anilox rollers, minimal doctor blade pressure is always recommended. Equally important for good doctor blade life is the relationship between cell configurations (shape/count) and blade tip thickness. For most water-based and solvent-based inks, .006″ blade thickness is ideal. Heavier-bodied inks and coatings often require thicker blades.
